What affects the price in Horns Mill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horns Mill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we handle wood floor repair in Horns Mill

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and burns.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Horns Mill customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
